Peachey Carnehan returned to winning ways over 6f here last time but was beaten by Grey Destiny over track and trip in January. The latter could go well back on this surface while Tavener makes a quick reappearance having placed at Lingfield last Friday and Bobby Joe Leg is usually thereabouts without winning. Agent Of Fortune is 8lb higher than her win at Chelmsford as she returns from a lay-off so it could pay to stick with the progressive ELUSIF, who has landed a hat-trick of wins over today’s trip at Kempton and may still be ahead of the handicapper despite a further 4lb rise.
